About the Artist

Tara is a Vancouver-based watercolour artist inspired by the beauty of nature. Born in Singapore and raised in the UK, she grew up surrounded by crafts and a deep appreciation for the natural world. After working in the film industry as a prop maker, she moved to Vancouver with two suitcases and a watercolour palette gifted by her father — and fell in love with both the city and the medium. Today, Tara balances prop making with her watercolour practice, creating artwork that evokes wonder and serenity. Her goal is simple: to create art that feels joyful, meaningful, and deeply cherished.
